“The all-new
Canyon provides a one-two punch that customers tell us they’ve been waiting
for,” said Canyon Marketing Manager Kenn Bakowski. “Now they can get a premium
vehicle in terms of styling, features and technology, with all the inherent
capabilities and maneuverability of a mid-size pickup.”

Available options
include the 3.6L V-6 engine with direct injection and variable valve timing, a
six-speed automatic transmission, Bose premium seven-speaker audio system, and
the GearOn™ accessory system, a comprehensive solution for
organizing and carrying bikes, kayaks and other equipment.

Canyon
customers will have multiple cab and bed configurations to choose from,
including extended cab models with a 6-foot 2-inch box, or crew cab models with
either the 6-foot 2-inch or a 5-foot 2-inch box.

Additionally,
every 2015 Canyon comes with Pro Grade Protection, which, in addition to a
five-year/100,000-mile powertrain warranty and three-year/36,000-mile
bumper-to-bumper warranty, includes two years or 24,000 miles – whichever comes
first – of standard scheduled maintenance.

The new
Canyon will be in dealerships this fall. Detailed pricing information and
EPA-estimated fuel economy ratings will be announced closer to vehicle
availability.

GMC has manufactured trucks since 1902, with innovation and engineering
excellence built into all GMC vehicles. The brand is evolving to offer
more fuel-efficient
trucks and crossovers, including the Terrain
small SUV and Acadia crossover. GMC’s highest-volume vehicle, the Sierra
pickup, is the most powerful light duty pickup on the market, and the first
full-size pickup to receive the highest possible five-star Overall Vehicle
Score for safety since the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration
changed its New Car Assessment Program for the 2011 model year. Details on all
